Difficulties in Actors- Production Blog

 I'm collaborating on the short film with my friend Camille. I'm glad I can work with her because she's a good friend of mine, and I think we work well together.. However, making a film with only two people in the group is kind of more difficult. We should have been more cautious about our ideas for our short film because there are only two of us, and we should have considered ways to make it easier for us to film without the need for extra people. However we got lucky because we have some friends that are willing to help us with out film. And thankfully, they have some experience with film. Me an camilles friend Mya who is also on my Waterpolo team will play Emma and will also assisting with filming. Kameron, another friend of me and Camile,  will play Jacob. He was also in all of my films last year in AS level so we have some history together. Camille and I felt guilty asking them to be in our film because this time of year is extremely stressful and busy, and they also have work to complete.  I was concerned that they were going to say No. But, thankfully, I was able to persuade them to do it. Camille and I said we would give them a Starbucks gift card. We decided that because some of our film takes place in a school, it would be easiest to film during our media class. The only issue with this is that we must be very careful not to include any logos in the background of the image. I stated in one of my past blogs that I was going to ask my teacher and she said we can film at school as long as there are no logos.This may be difficult due to the amount of art on the walls of my school, but hopefully we will be able to figure it out. I'm getting a little nervous about filming, but I'm hoping I won't run into too many problems. We intend to film the next time we have media class, and we hope to complete it in one class. I don't want to take up too much of Kameron and Myas time time, so I'll have to give it my all when we shoot. I'm going to double-check my storyboard the day before so that I'm ready to film. I hope everything will go smoothly.

In this case, Macie, the new girl, attends yet another new school because of her Dads job . Being "the new kid" is difficult enough on its own, but Courtney makes Macie's first few days at school even more difficult. Courtney is envious that her crush, Jacob, prefers Macie over her.

Courtney does something that is common in High School and teenage social groups which she s ends out an embarassing photo of macie to the whole school.

Macies shots- Production Blog

Camille and I filmed the school parts first because that was our biggest concern. I wanted to make sure we got those done since spring break is coming up. Since we finished the school parts we are going to focus on the solo ones. Therefore, today after school Camille came to my house. She helped me film the parts where I am getting ready for school. To start, she used a medium shot to show me waking up for school. Then we started getting Macie ready for school. Camille did a close up of me doing my make-up and picking my outfit. Our biggest challenge was the breakfast scene. We wanted to do a close-up of my mom cracking an egg into a pan, but we couldn't get it right the first couple times. So we kepted wasting eggs. But it was pretty funny. Camille also did a close up of me my phone scrolling while my mom and I were having dialogue. This was to show that I was uninterested in having the New Girl talk with my mom. We then headed downstairs to film the scene where I am walking to my...
